GETTING TO SABA
You can get to SABA in 90 minutes by sea and 12 minutes by air from the neighbouring
island of St. Maarten. Going to Saba by air is certainly not for the faint of heart. The runway
at its Juancho E. Yrausquin Airport is only 400m in length and reputed to be the shortest
commercial air strip in the world! But visitors can rest assured that their landings and takeoffs will be expertly executed as there have been no accidents during any of the five flights
to and from Saba daily.

With little or no crime, Saba is considered to be one of the
safest places in the world.
